I would like to thank the following people for contributing to the creation of this thesis:

• Curtis Bell and Patrick Roberts, for making this project possible in the first place and for providing invaluable help with the conceptual, modeling, and writing efforts involved.

• Egidio D’Angelo and Fabrizio Gabbiani, for providing NEURON code describing crucial ion channels and synaptic currents.

• Steven St. John, for being willing to follow me into uncharted thesis waters in terms of subject matter (that’s a fish joke).

• The whole "Neurotrash" crew, and you know who you are, for providing unlimited commentary and jocular dissent.

• Dad, Mom, Kezzie, and Julia, for their frequent phone calls, emails, and, no doubt, unlimited encouragement and support.
